[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

This morning the first frosts have arrived, at least here in the south east, its going to slow things down a little, but also bring some other species out.

 

Oh and dont forget, lichens are also fungi! I dont know many of these myself at the moment, but they are perfectly acceptable within this competition.

Surprised you had a frost this morning, didn't seem that cold

Daedaleopsis confragosa

 

The woodpeckers have just moved into this tree

[Kat1e]

Any ideas on ID? Will go back when it has developed a bit- currently each 2-3 mm across.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

If your going hunting in iether of those woods youll do well.

 

your ganos, probably both applanatums, not the shaggy parasol, nor the field, I will have a look see in a bit which one it is, but its stem is far to smooth and white for iether of those two, other than that, focus looks good to me, and the other idents from a quick scan look spot on mate! good submissions.

I might even have time to go to both

 

I will go back in a couple of days and take some more shots of the parasol if that helps?
